Pocket will shut down July 8, 2025.

Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?
As @TechCrunch said few months ago, @wallabag « is a strong competitor with article-saving tools and features as good as what Pocket offers. »

Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?

https://wallabag.it/en/blog/2025/06/23/which-alternative-to-pocket-should-i-choose/

For several years my work flow has been to have feeds in Feedly and save articles to Pocket to read later.

With @mozilla killing Pocket, I'm wondering if @wallabag would actually serve as a replacement for both.

I'd be curious to hear any comments or experiences from folks. I'll be trying it out this week regardless, but I'd still love any tips given what my work flow has been.

Out of Pocket and into the wallabag

Thank you so much for all your messages during this crazy period

This is what I’ve been building for the last 10 weeks!

I'm really enjoying Wallabag! I just love how clean and neat this is. I’m hoping to use it for decades—especially as more and more websites vanish from the web!

So, Fedi distributed brain, what are people settling on for Pocket replacements?

I've put my self in an awkward position, but one that's been very smooth for me for several years. I use Feedly to scroll RSS feeds, and *had* perfect integration to save things to Pocket.

I'm going to have to look both at RSS aggregators and "read it later" apps to see where I want to go, but definitely a self-hosted FLOSS solution.

Some data about wallabag.it and Pocket shutdown.

- Almost 1M new articles saved (you already saved almost 22M since december 2016)
- 1100 new accounts
- 100 new customers
- a lot of toots and emails

It was only 4 days ago

Last week, Mozilla announced their plans to shut down Pocket.

I spent the weekend exploring alternatives to see which ones match my needs and wrote about what I found in my blog.

A lot of options! And while not all met my needs, they may be good options for you.

Our #Pocket migration feature is almost ready to ship…

Mozilla is shutting down Pocket on July 8th, 2025, but users will be able to export data until October. Originally an independent browser extension called Read it Later, Pocket was acquired by Mozilla in 2017. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket #Pocket #Mozilla #Firefox #ReadItLater

I'm once again looking for a read-it-later/article archive tool. I think I've tried them all by now and I'm amazed that for such a basic task there's no good solution. I think my demands are very reasonable:

– article content extraction (not just bookmarks) and comfortable reader
– full text search over the entire archive
– website and Android app with synchronization between them
– not a whole lot of random unrelated features like todo lists or whatever thrown in for no reason

I was using Pocket for many years and even paid for the "premium" (which basically got me a few extra fonts because the "premium" features like tag suggestions didn't work), however Pocket got worse and worse at article extraction, to the point where it just opened to website instead of showing the extracted text for more than half of the saved articles. Also no one seems to actively work on it it seems. Pretty much the same problems with Instapaper. I tried Feedly and Inoreader which kinda works I guess but they're primarily RSS readers, which I don't need. raindrop.io does extract article texts but shows them only in the Android app, in a browser it'll still open the website, also the full text search doesn't work reliability. Then there's Wallabag but that seems very Alpha and I don't want to host the service myself. Tried a bunch more which I can't remember right now.

As a temporary solution I'm now saving articles to @notesnook since I'm using that for notes anyway. Article extraction works alright but there's no way to archive notes, so it's all cluttered with articles now and I can barely find my own notes anymore.

If anyone knows of a tool that reliably does all the things mentioned above, please let me know!
